How much does the Willemin-Macodel 701S2 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Willemin-Macodel 701S2 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
A working volume of Ø52 mm by 32 mm high tells you what the Willemin-Macodel 701S2 is for. It is a micro-machining center built on parallel 3-axis delta kinematics, which the maker says it was the first to apply to a machining center, and it is aimed mainly at watchmaking.
The moving mass is small and the figures show it. Axes feed at up to 72 m/min, machining acceleration reaches 10 m/s², and the measuring scales resolve 0.01 µm. Willemin-Macodel describes interpolation to sub-micron accuracies in very high-speed machining.
The spindle has an integrated motor and turns at 80,000 min-1. Tools are held in a cylindrical Ø6 mm interface, power is 4.1 kW in S1 and 8.4 kW in S6, and torque is 0.5 Nm and 1.0 Nm. Those are figures for engraving cutters and micro end mills, not for anything that removes much metal. A direct measuring system (DMS) is integrated, and the magazine holds 72 tools.
Plates and bridges are machined on both sides: a turning unit flips the part, with repositioning precision that the maker puts in the micron range, and edge machining is possible too. A 12-piece blank magazine feeds the machine, and an additional 12-position magazine is an option. The cabinet is 1,050 x 1,005 x 1,610 mm on 1.1 m², power consumption is quoted at just 2 kW, and the control is a BECKHOFF PC base.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Instead of three stacked linear slides, the 701S2 moves through a parallel 3-axis delta structure. Willemin-Macodel says the machine exploits the dynamics and rigidity of that layout and works by interpolation to sub-micron accuracies. The listed results are a 72 m/min feed speed and 10 m/s² of machining acceleration.
02
The work volume is Ø52 mm with a height of 32 mm. That covers watch plates, bridges and similar small flat parts, which is the work the maker names. Anything larger belongs on one of the table-type machines such as the 301S2.
03
A spindle with integrated motor running at 80,000 min-1. It has a cylindrical Ø6 mm tool interface, 4.1 kW of S1 power and 8.4 kW in S6, and 0.5 Nm of S1 torque with 1.0 Nm in S6. A direct measuring system is integrated.
04
Yes. Willemin-Macodel equips it with a turning unit that lets plates and bridges be machined on both sides, with repositioning precision in the micron range, and says it can also machine on the edge. High-precision double-sided positioning is listed with the multi-position carrier option.
